those beaming back an image from the front of your car to your
handheld, pretty impressive perhaps but hold your jaws in place
readers as this one could cause yours to hit the deck. The VTS
(Vision Tracking System) Camera Car is cooler than a penguins
posteria, just place the specs upon your head and immerse yourself in
an exhilirating drive as if you were sat in the cockpit.
After an epic wait for the all-singing and dancing (well almost) Artoo Entertainment unit it looks likes the deliveries have begun. Chris Moyles, the Radio One yob, told of his surprise when one arrived at the weekend, his purchase was apparently made sometime last year whilst under the influence. A total of 2,500 have been made and our freinds at Red5 have a few coming in the next couple of weeks. At £2k this is a fair investment but the satisfaction of beaing a 60-inch screen from your 270 degree swivelling R2D2 head is priceless.
With the influx of all manner of RC machines lately for flying, driving and floating activity this machine is a welcome diversion. This months "Why didn't I think of that" award looks to be going the way of the RC drinks cooler, just load it up with ice and refreshments of your choice then you're set to serve drinks from the comfort of your deckchair. It's not going to be much good on rough terrains but those with patio's and decking rejoice, and of course those with wooden floors as it is not just an outdoor affair. What could be more enjoyable that watching your guests chase around the room after that last chilled drink? Available From FIREBOX for £39.95

Fans of Rubik's Cube can now hang out at a website devoted to said item and visit forums, discover hitherto unknown facts and find solutions to get your cube back to the state it was before you embarked on your mission to mix it up. The site, rubiks.com - I'm off to bang my head against a brick wall for half and hour instead.

Indoor flying machines seem to be in flavour at the moment, the amount of helicopters through Toyology Towers has kept our digits busy on the handhelds for months.
